August 29, 2008|Staff report

Police are asking for the public's help in locating an 88-year-old Miami man who has been missing for almost two weeks.

Edward J. Corey, Jr. suffers from dementia, Hollywood police spokesman Capt. Tony Rode said. Corey has not been seen since he arrived at John U. Lloyd State Park for a Masonic Lodge barbecue on Aug. 17. Park rangers said he spoke to them, but lodge members said he never made it to the event. Corey's car was found in the park.

Almost 50 volunteers and officers have searched the park for Corey, Rode said. Police plan to have specially trained dogs sniff the park today. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 954-967-4537.
